Go readbmy oline review of panthers game. First unit looked pretty decent outside of some mental breakdowns by Turner where he just whiffed in his block, and Fox who has done trouble with Ealys speed moves.didn’t ride him out far enough. Rest if the guys, especially James and Pouncey looked really solid.

Oh and Fede us really impressing. 7th rounder you just hopes can make the team and maybe in a few years develop into a good player. He is making a push in his second year to possibly challenge Vernon so inquire impressed with him

BACK FROM YET ANOTHER convention!! – – Mrs. OD and I had dinner with our oldest Grand daughter and her 3 girls (our 3 Great Grand daughters) in Tennessee. Our 9 year old is already 5 foot 4 inches, and is the tallest kid in her class!! She LOVES mathematics!! Also, the company I work for had its most successful show in over 2 years, so the boss is VERY happy!!
————————
GLAD to read things are going well for our Fins, although injuries at defensive back are a concern. STILL looking for proof of quality depth at O-Line. –Super congrats to Mike E. for his 39th birthday!! Both my oldest daughter (now 50) and one of my Great Grand daughters (now 5) had birthdays on Aug. 23. A little bird told me YOUNG STANGER’S LOOKING AT THE BIG 5-0 in the near future, too! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN!!!!!!

LOCAL TAMPA BAY YUCS ended their 11-game home losing streak by beating Cincy last night in a pre-season game!! But I believe the YUCS are looking at another 3-4 win season.

When it was 7-2, I changed the channel because I was frustrated. I came back 5 minutes later. This team is so different. I think Ron Darling said it best, we’re scoring 16 runs in a agme, where before the trades, we barely scored 16 runs a week. The added length to the lineup has payed huge dividends, and just think, we’re doing this without Duda in the lineup.

I see there is a lot of chatter that if Fox can’t go in the next PS game we should sit RT because he’ll get hurt. Anything can happen but with the way the OL has played since he’s been here why are so many worried about him getting hurt now? He’s been the most sacked the last 3 years. We could keep him out the last two PS games and he could go down on the 1st series of the RS. You can’t play this game scared.

I agree. The 3rd PS game is also a game where the team goes into half-time and makes adjustments for the 2nd half. That’s why they call it a dress rehearsal. He likely won’t play in the 4th PS game along with Suh, Wake, Grimes etc.

Tim, I woke this morning to all that chatter about sitting Tanny if Fox can’t go.
Man was I waaaay out in front of that story! I was bringing it up on the blog after I saw Fox go out with a possible concussion.

I never came out and said he should sit the whole game….depends on practice this week with Hawkins, Linkenbach, Walker etc.

My point was that it should something that really needs to be considered in various degrees.
Makes it a better option to scale the stars back some, since our 1’s on both sides of that ball have been stellar so far.

They look ready man!

Get some PT for the questionable depth guys. The 1’s can still be on the sidelines going thru the mental reps/snaps of the game planned dress rehearsal.

This is the most important PS game with the half-time adjustments. You can’t play scared. There are things you can do to not allow a guy who may not be up to par at LT to be out there on an island with no help. Run the ball, bootlegs and roll-outs, quick 3 step drops etc.

For Michelle and the kids you just send them off in a private lear jet, with another as a decoy.
Less cost & less staff !!!

***********
No Vacation is necessary, but I don;t expect the first family not to take one

Can you send the first family on a private jet?
I’m not sure its allowed based on security reasons
But I generally agree

I don;t know if use of Air force 1 is required, but if its not, They should charter their own jet and pay out of pocket (but I would think that secret service is assigned to them and paid for by the govt for safety reason)

I didn;t read the whole article
but they said it costs like 11k an hour (which is crazy) and the title infers it was lavish spending
but if they are using air force 1 and paying secret service during the trip – that’s not exactly lavish spending, that is security, which is costly but necessary when they go anywhere
its almost unavoidable costs isn’t it?

The rules can change Piggy….The so called Prez does it all the time with his executive orders.
The secret service can still accompany them as they do wherever they go.
The BO’s don’t do it cause they feel like they don’t have to do it. Ultimate sense of entitlement right there.

Like I said, not just the Obama’s, any president and his family. It’s just that liberal dems are always talking about the less fortunate and the middle class and then live the exact opposite to extreme levels. That shit bothers me, always has.

If the LT isn’t good enough to execute pass formations then just work on the running game. I don’t believe in this prediction of injury crap because it’s unpredictable. Getting injured in PS game 3 vs Week 2 is the same crap to me.

Guys, I’m just saying it needs to be monitored. I think it will be great to see Walker, Hawkins, Linkenbach get the work in, we are thin @ OT.
But if they’re horrible, then ya might want to minimize Tanny & Miller’s exposure since they seem to be sooo ready right now.

Hell, college football doesn’t go thru this, they play for keeps the first game out of the box so to speak.

What happened to next man up. Stop worrying will you, lot of you are starting to sound like the whiney little bitches on the Crows board. Injuries happen,sometimes you get over them sometimes you don’t.

The Crows are my Aussie Rules team…Adelaide Football Club. or the Adelaide Crows. Fans in all sports across the world worry about shit. Fox goes down I believe Hawkins is the next one up. Or They will slide James across again Thomas to RT, Doulas to LG. Always a solution. Fox should only miss the one game anyway if any.

HC Gruden doesn’t like him, but has had to kinda go with him due to that bounty used to get him. If/when RGouch goes down again, then Gruden will be happier about using QB’s that he had a hand in getting to Wash.

New Bills TE Charles Clay is dealing with a “nagging” right knee injury.
Clay insists the injury isn’t serious, and that he’ll play in this weekend’s preseason game. Still, it’s a concern for a player who was slowed by a nagging right knee issue for most of 2014.

If Cameron stays healthy, then we sooo got the better end of the FA deals.

nope.
“No, no and no. The reason all 50-yard lines are gold is because the NFL will have its 50th Super Bowl this February and since the league is actually writing out the arabic numerals for the game (Super Bowl 50) instead of the usual Roman numerals (goodbye, far cooler Super Bowl L), it’s using every opportunity to remind people of this, because nobody self-promotes like the NFL.”

Guess it’s both then….Miami became a franchise in 1965, the first SB was played in Jan of 1967 for the previous season of 1966….SB 50 will be in Feb 2016 to end the 2015 season…..that has always thrown me off over the years….lol

FFR, I recalled the Phins putting gold on all kinds of promos for this upcoming season. So I figured they’d also be painting the 50 gold in their home stadium. But thanks for the sharp work inspector Clouseau. 😉

Went to the casino yesterday and had my comp but had to get back to feed the dogs. So I couldn’t get a meal there. So I went to the sweets place in the food court and used it on six delicious–looking desserts, which I figured could stick in the fridge for like a week.

Wifey just went to the salon and the person she’s seeing is this big fat and very nice black woman. I say, “bring one along to give……we got way more than we need.”

She says, “no……last thing she needs.” At the same time, no one would appreciate more……and better stuff than in a twix wrapper.

listen yo whatever your wife tells you to do
who cares how it makes some one you barely know feel
Its a lot more important to get how your wife feels about you right
and telling your wife she is right goes a long way in that regard

My wife’s point as well…….still would have made her day though.
————————————-
Really depends, think of food like cigarettes, some people its an equally strong addiction, so if you a person trying to quit cigs, you definitely dont want the temptation shoved in your face, it would be like someone asking if you would like to bum one while you in the first few days of strong cravings. If she is trying to diet, then your handing her that cigarette lol, if she isnt then yes, you made her day cause fate people like the sweets 🙂

Great analogy D. In this case…..think it more like giving some fine wine to a woman how was going to be drinking regardless. But I get the symbolic/care for you part as well. Maybe just not getting into it was the smart way to go……but if she was a skinny bitch she would have gotten a real nice dessert.

GD, okay maybe but ATL isn’t a good pass rush team. In fact they sucked in all phases last year, worst defense in the league. They did draft Beasley and I’m not sure how he’s doing, but he’s playing on the strong/RT side.

Yes GD minus the P
I told you about Danny but this one you guys might want to watch…
Most all the ensemble modles have this one coming in and then curving north and east.
Maybe we’ll get some rain up here…
We barley get shit at my house this summer 😦

IMO they should move Turner to LT, Linkenbach can man RG, id like to see how Turner fairs in a more natural position. He looks kinda awkward at RG, his form looks good but he looks like is looking to always block the dude right on him or just outside, when they are inside shoulder or shift before the snap from straight up to inside, is when i have seen him whiff on blocks. Its a matter of training and everything to learn to handle that and the twist plays where the DT takes the outside gap while the DE rolls around to the inside. If it works out Well with turner at LT, id leave him there as a backup when Albert gets back and then just pick up a RG FA once cuts happen and then draft one next year to fill in at RG. Douglas, also hasnt looked ready yet. Couple plays i saw him get really blow up when he rotated in after starters. He looked really good on others but i wouldn’t throw him to the wolves just yet.

—————————————-
Ive watched almost every preseason game so far thisyear. Beasley has looked good and bad. He’s legit athletically and has made some pretty good plays but i dont think he has been as hit the ground running as many expected. Bud Dupree definitely hasnt.

Im a little skiddish about Turner but almost all the other OL positions im pretty solid on. Only reason Turner even bothers me is he has a very obvious weakness and they are going to pick up on that in film review. Hell i could see it and im not trained to spot that shit. Tanny could take some wicked hits from a DE twist whiff by Turner and DE hits him head on. Turner has all the aility to handle that position, just seems really weak covering his gap to the inside. Pouncey may be able to help him, but there will be times when he will have his onw demon to keep at bay. I still dont think Mathis was the answer though, i wouldnt be shocked to see someone picked up after 53 cuts are made.

Well why didnt you break out the checkbook earlier! sheesh. JK, but i dunno, probably is worth that, but watching the games this preseason it hasnt looked like as much of a disaster here with the OG’s we have as much as everyone tries to make it look that way,

Broncos signed OG Evan Mathis to a one-year contract.
ESPN’s Adam Caplan reports the deal is worth “up to” $4 million if Mathis hits certain playing-time incentives. It has a $2.5 million base. The biggest difference maker left on the open market at any position, Mathis graded out as Pro Football Focus’ No. 2 guard in 2014. Mathis goes a long way toward solidifying a line that’s been racked by injuries and question marks this summer. Mathis will send LG Ben Garland to the bench, and line up alongside LT Ty Sambrailo, C Matt Paradis, RG Louis Vasquez and RT Chris Clark. It’s still a much sorrier group than Peyton Manning is used to working with.

Omar Kelly ✔ @OmarKelly
Ask told you last weekend, the Dolphins pulled out of the Evan Mathis bidding. So don’t bother saying he turned them down for Denver.

Huh? …and whatever you’re trying to say is full of caca!

D, Turner is still learning the guard spot. He played LT in college and missed a lot of reps last year with turf toe. He has to keep playing. Lots of teams line up with guys still learning, it’s not unique to us.

Anybody gettin the sniff that Peyton is in decline for real and this will be a mediocre yr and either this one or next is it for him. Osweiler is ready. That great D and ok running game will carry Manning some but not enough.

Tim,
His contract is going to make it very tricky for him to sign with us. If we don’t re-sign him within 5 days after the offseason then we can’t negotiate with him again until May, which obviously isn’t going to happen.

SO YOUNG STANGER, did you see my reference to your next b’day up the page??

ARE ANY of you familiar with exactly what Curt Schilling said when asked to comment on Islamic radicals and Hitler?? Apparently Curt got kicked-off the LLWS broadcast and suspended by ESPN for ripping into the radical terrorists??? Sounds like ESPN can’t stand anyone who rips ISIS, if, and I say “IF” this is true. Sometimes when you work long hours you miss a few things. –But after working 20 straight days, I’ll finally have this upcoming Sunday off, to mow the lawn and drink Colorado Kool-Aid. Anyway, if ANY of you know the details, I’d appreciate being clued in. –I sure as hell will NOT take ESPN’s word for ANYTHING when it comes to politics or social issues.
GDP, are U out there, buddy?

Quarterback is the only position in the NFL where you could be mediocre and get paid… If I was Ryan Tannehill and the most games I ever won was seven, how could you get $100 million for that? I guess that’s the value of the position. Seahawks defensive lineman Michael Bennett
– Seahawks defensive lineman Michael Bennett, giving his thoughts on the pay scale for quarterback

well if bennett believes qb’s get credits for the wins then what is he bitching about? he says about the most games tanne has ever won, well if it is up to the qb to win games then bennett doesnt deserve any money. he admittedly is saying he has nothing to do with the team winning. he just gave his team all the power in negotiations

Are we concerned about the O-line again this year? Even though I dont have a clue who any of those guys are I dont see to big of a problem. Heck, in Tanny’s 5 possessions we’ve scored TDs on 3 of them and screwed ourselves on another. I havent seen him running for his life or really being hurried. What was he, 12-15 and like 6-7 the game before.
Seen some nice runs too. Remember, no team is gonna get their RB 15-20yds a pop
Hell for all we know is they might get worse when Albert is healthy.
Looks OK to me…

JUST GOT OFF the phone with “Buckeye Bob” from Cowlumbus. He tells me Ohio State has just signed a contract to host Florida Atlantic in football Aug. 31, 2019. By then, Urban Meyer should have replaced Bill Belicheat as head coach of the Cheats. My guess is that FAU will take in at least 1.5 million bucks from this game. NOW, if we can just get the Buckeyes to play us at Sun-Baked Stadium a year or two later!! (We played our home games there for awhile until the new on campus stadium (Schnellenberger Field) was completed.

its the preseason. if that answer works for reasons to not worry it works for reasons to not be positive about the o-line. but i know i know i know. i am just being practical, i know that is hated around here.

OD,
Curt also shared a photo on his Facebook page which describes what the colors and items on the confederate flag means. And there’s the time in November where he went on a rant trying to prove that evolution is false.

Well then I guess thats Curt Shilling who live down Moron Lane behind me.
Spinning his tires and doing donuts every morning and when he gets home too
Of course has the battle flag propped up in the bed of his truck.
The rest must be his kids
MORONS!!!

the fact that people disagree with conclusions drawn by scientist does nothing to decrease the value of science

what can be wrong with studying nature – that is just information
I don;t really care if people chose to believe what is concluded through science
but taking away the value of actually studying science is going to make us all ignorant

People can chose to believe whatever they want
we all have free will to do that
but science, studying nature, should never be attacked just bc people don’t like the conclusions they get from people doing the studying

I didn’t say you were attacking science
I don;t think you are
I was speaking generally
people certainly attack science and once they do that, IMO, there is no debate

there is nothing bad about science, even when scientists disagree with each other
The fact that they are studying nature and coming to a conclusion they are willing to discuss can only be a good thing, there is no bad in that, there are only disagreements about it. Even brilliant scientists disagree with an earlier conclusion they made
